Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can I use taxim o drops after 10 days for my 3 months old baby. Paed prescribed for 7 days as she was spitting and passing green stools. She was better and I stopped 6th day. Dint wanted my baby to take many medicine for long time. Now again she is spitting up and passing green watery stools. But on the top of medicine box it s mentioned to be used within 5days when stored in cool place. Plz help
hello, i can understand your concern. Discard the existing taxim o drops. I would advise you to complete any medication courses that the doctor has prescribed from next time onwards. Stoppage of antibiotics midway would lead to antibiotic resistance and this is harmful in the longer run.
Your baby seems to have acute gastro enteritis. Preventing dehydration is the most important step. Continue feeding the baby with mothers milk at 1 to 2 hr intervals. Take a fresh bottle of taxim o drops and give it for five days. If the baby appears lethargic or not that active, intravenous fluids have to be given. I would recommend you to contact your pediatritian if you notice such signs.
Hope this helps. Wishing a speedy recovery
